In October, we published this video to mark the arrival of a new chairman to BP. It told the company's history through what people said "BP" meant, including the infamous "Beyond Profits." With a new CEO in 2026, does BP stand for "Back to Pragmatism"?

COLUMN: Glencore is full of billionaires. They clearly know how to make money for themselves. Problem is, they haven’t made so much for their institutional shareholders. Its plan to solve the problem is a “this time is different” requiring blind faith. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Glencore's Copper Promises Demand Blind Faith From Investors

How a reno-gone-wrong laid bare Chris Ellison’s secrets

A legal case brought by a once-trusted executive exposed a string of scandals at Mineral Resources. Documents from the case have now been unsealed.

Our thoughts are with @CollingwoodFC, we never knew how difficult it was to travel once a year x But if we’re all allowed to make our own rules now we’d love to play at the MCG more than once a year please @AFL.

Collingwood refused to travel for Opening Round after playing in the first two years on the road against GWS. And the Pies get their wish facing St Kilda… a game at the MCG against a Marvel tenant, without giving up a ‘home’ game.

Someone wondered to me why Kerry Stokes’ The West Australian kept writing an exceedingly large amount of stories about an ASX microcap medtech called Orthocell. So we pulled the company’s share register and found his CEO, 2IC and editor-in-chief all owned stock.

For those who have been following, I have been in a mammoth David vs Goliath battle against Consumer Affairs Victoria over a routine Freedom of Information request I sent in 2023. And it is over. I won! choice.com.au/shopping/consu…

Our fight with Australia's broken freedom of information system - CHOICE

How our journalist's simple request for a document became a 21-month battle of stubborn wills.

KAM Sports abandons $100m soccer property deal with Western United

The fate of the club that finished third on this year’s A-League ladder is unclear. So too, is the property-driven model that was to underpin the investment.

Young eagles were so good last night that even these umpiring blunders didn’t bother me. Harry Edwards was like mcgovern in defence, Jack Williams pack marks up forward, Hough doing as good against Daicos as anyone. Superb tackle pressure, clear game plan. Cannot ask for more

How does new AFL footy boss Greg Swann simplify holding the ball? Hall and co. do such a good job tackling Long and don’t get rewarded for holding the ball then the Pies get a free kick only moments later with absolutely no prior opportunity. Mystifying
